Grand Valley State University Alumni Association E-News

SEPTEMBER 2020

This fall looks different than any we experienced while attending Grand Valley, and I know alumni, parents, students, and prospective students all have questions.

I encourage you to visit gvsu.edu/lakerstogether for the most up-to-date information, as well as Grand Valley's new COVID-19 Data Dashboard. The dashboard provides regularly updated testing and results information from within the Laker community.

May we all continue to be safe and support one another.

Director, GVSU Alumni Relations
